D Patrick with the very real scream of terror again.... I feel like that all the time. Stoddard: "Who is Barnabas?" You really don't want to ask that! Carolyn should start to see some supernatural connections between the two pentagrams, Stoddard, the cairn, and Barnabas at this point, rather than pshawing it all.
Julia wonders at BC's general disconnection, then sees him wake up when Carolyn's in trouble, clue #1. That was clever. "We'll see how bad a detective I am!" Good one Julia.
I identify with Paul Stoddard. I know what it's like to have a severe problem that is hard to talk about and which you have to have help for, making it necessary to go from one person to another, only to find that people's urge to dismiss anything unusual is just too strong. I imagine he himself was thinking how crazy he sounded, as he listened to himself, but couldn't find any other way to say it, especially when terrified. As for his being a coward, maybe, but then this isn't just a TV show for Stoddard. We've never been in that position. [spoiler]And as it turns out, he has every reason to be terrified.[/spoiler]
At the Blue Whale... P Stoddard couldn't see Barnabas until he was on-camera! Did the Naga disappear just before that because it was no longer needed, because BC was there? Good Barn never takes any joy in anything-- but evil Barn smirks happily at others' impending doom. He's happier being evil.
Oh no, Garth Blackwood had a shave and he's terrorizing 1949 Collinsport! No... That actor's really good. Why seek out PS in 1949? Because they know Carolyn will be a well-placed heiress when Barnabas arrives back in Collinsport?
I like Stoddard laughing his head off about losing his soul. Interesting reaction. What if he hadn't made the deal (which he really hadn't since it was all hypothetical)? Would they really not have been able to use Carolyn? Would they just have slinked away with their tails between their legs? [spoiler]At no point did Carolyn go into their custody. I don't think they ever controlled her. Everything happened with Jeb and Carolyn just because of her usual great taste in boyfriends I think. So how did they "own" her? Maybe they pulled all this on Stoddard just to drive him nuts and make him non-credible, so he wouldn't be an effective enemy.[/spoiler]
